I’m excited to share that I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Rena Annobil on BBC Radio Berkshire, where we discussed how to be a healthier vegetarian. Even if you are not vegetarian, you will find the interview helpful.

If you’ve ever wondered about the best ways to ensure you’re getting all the right nutrients, you’ll definitely want to listen to this!

It’s Vegetarian Week and many celebrations like Navratri happening right now, followed by Karwa Chauth and Diwali, it’s the perfect time to learn how to make your traditional vegetarian meals a little healthier.

During the interview, I shared some essential tips for anyone following a vegetarian diet or thinking about making the switch. Here are a few key highlights:

✔️ How to prepare a healthy, balanced thali
✔️ The best sources of protein for vegetarians
✔️ Why I recommend avoiding processed mock meats
✔️ Staying healthy during festive seasons
✔️ Overcoming common mistakes on a vegetarian diet:

Many vegetarians struggle with getting enough protein or rely too much on grains like rice and roti. In the interview, I discussed how simple tweaks can make a big difference.

You should listen to the full interview and learn how to have a better plant based diet.  And even if you are not vegetarian, you will still find this useful.

I hope you enjoy the interview and find these tips useful as you work towards a healthier, balanced lifestyle.
